A better connection between topics and descriptions, a better sequence of steps specially in the charts could help.Maybe a more responsive interface for different browsers and devices.

The questions asked in the lesson have little to do with the lesson content and the quiz is only slightly less ambiguous.

This course has improved my knowledge about numerical weather prediction and hope to pass it well in my course unit (Weather forecasting Principles I)/

Quizzes are very difficult and can not find all the answers within the module. Takes several tries before able to pass.

Great lesson, but it would be nice if there was audio available to it.

After taking numerous Meted tutorials, this one is the worst formatted. The information in the tutorials contained sometimes as little as one sentence, and related quiz questions had no information that was taught from the tutorial to support an answer.

Very little was "taught" about the NWP process and the questions asked were not answered in the lesson information. There were too many pictures and not enough explanation.

Very difficult to understand.

Wtomczyk 2017-10-19 10:59:04

The questions on the quiz are confusing to what is written within text. I found it very hard to find what the hell I just read and what the questions were asking.

I thought this lesson was not well laid out or organized for someone who is new to the subject matter. There were certain definitions and constants that were new to me but assumed to be understood by the module. Also, a lot of the questions were never explicitly answered in the module, they were merely implied and in some cased, barely touched upon. For this to be an effective lesson, I feel that the questions need to be updated to match the lesson better, or the lesson needs to be broadened to ensure that students get a better introduction to the topics covered.

The manner in which the material was presented in this lesson was disjointed and left me with a very vague and confused understanding of NWP and EFS. The Q

Great lesson.

It was useful in deepening my understanding of the physics within the atmosphere.

Lot of information is given, Many questions are not direct.

jngondo 2016-10-17 05:51:28

was quite educative and good for learning especially for new learners about NWP.

LAShort 2016-09-26 11:21:06

will recommend course to others

agerm1 2016-01-29 18:23:37

Excellent for meteorology students or weather enthusiasts.

Alysa 2015-05-11 00:38:13

Good beginners introduction to NWP.

EQ 2015-04-16 15:47:25

Perfect module for those using numerical modeling or for those who just want to learn it.
I highly recommend it, it defiantly worth it.
